Tiankuo quickly caught up, Siqi pulled Zichen and quietly listened to the unknown person talking to Zijun.

She secretly looked at the person's dress, although it was not a valuable fabric, it was clean and refreshing, and it looked quite comfortable.

Looking like this, it should be Zijun's classmates in their school.

"Brother Tiankuo, who is this person, I haven't seen it before." Seeing that Tiankuo had caught up, Siqi asked him in a low voice.

Tiankuo smiled and whispered, "This is the son of Mr. Chen of our academy, and he plans to take the Xiucai exam next year." ”

Si Qi wondered, "What is your husband's son here for, and he is also here to eat and drink?" ”

Tiankuo smiled and said, "Yes, I know that we are going to come back today for dinner, and he has to follow us, so I nodded and agreed. ”

"So that's the case, I said why I haven't seen it, but this person is really strange, running so far to eat." Siqi complained a little.

Mr. Chen's son's name is Chen Ping, he is 18 years old this year, and he is still studying at the college, and sometimes he helps to teach students articles, and he is a good scholar.

Mr. Chen's two daughters and a son, of course, this son is seriously cultivating, and he must be allowed to do a good job in his studies before going to the scientific examination, and he will only take the exam for the first time next year.

After Chen Ping came to Tongxin Village, he looked around, and he didn't know what he was curious about, it stands to reason that he himself lives in the countryside and has a field at home, so it shouldn't be right.

Because he is the son of Mr. and he is a few years older, Zijun and the others are very polite when they talk to him.

When I arrived at Gu's house, there were already a lot of people sitting inside and outside the courtyard, everyone was talking, and they were usually busy with work, how could they have time to chat, who set up a banquet, this time is the best time for people in the village to chat.

A few tables in the courtyard were for children, and after Tiankuo came back, Zhu asked him to help greet everyone to take a seat.

Since ancient times, men and women have not had the same table at the age of seven, even if this is the countryside and there are not so many rules, but this point should still be noted.

Men and women sit apart, and even if they are children, they are roughly separated.

When the Gu family learned that Chen Ping was the son of Mr., they were very polite and asked him to go to the house to sit, and there were a few tables in the house, and those people who were highly respected in the village were sitting.

Chen Ping said that he didn't go anywhere, thanked him vigorously, and followed him as soon as his mind was hot, only then did he feel that it was not in accordance with the rules, and he came to join in the excitement when he was doing happy events at home.

Wang smiled and said, "Cheng, you are young, sit together and have something to say, the sky is wide, you can greet Chen Gongzi well." ”

Tiankuo nodded, "I know, grandma don't worry." ”

Chen Ping sat at a table with Zijun and a few of them, although it was a school, but because Chen Ping was a few years older than them, he was not very familiar with them.

In addition, he is the son of Mr., and they don't know how to get along with him, and today he suddenly came over and said that he was going to come to eat and drink, and several of them were confused, and no one knew why he suddenly had this idea.

They are all half-sized, and even if Chen Ping is a few years older, he can tell them, so he will become familiar with them after a while.

Chen Ping looked at the other table, then quickly retracted his gaze, lowered his head and continued to eat, today's meal was really rich.

They still have to go to school in the afternoon, so they don't have to eat long before they get off the table, so they can't delay school.

Leaving Tongxin Village, Chen Ping was still looking back, Tiankuo smiled and said, "You like us here, you can come if you want to come in the future." ”

Chen Ping nodded and said with a smile, "You guys are very good here, I like it very much, don't be too troublesome for me to come to you in the future." ”

Zikang said, "How can it be, you can come, our house, or Tiankuo's house, you can go, and you can stay for a few days." ”

Chen Ping patted Zikang on the shoulder, "It won't be long before I have to threh for a farming holiday, and I will help you threshing when the time comes." ”

As soon as he said this, Zijun Zikang was stunned again, what did Chen Ping want to do?

Zikang smiled, "Don't you also have land at home?" My husband also works in the fields when he is busy with farming. ”

Chen Ping said with a smile, "Our family has little land, and we can finish the work in two days, so it won't get in the way." ”

"That's right." The two brothers were very puzzled, why did the son of the gentleman suddenly become so close to them?

Siqi had an idea in her heart, so after eating the banquet, she ran to the edge of the weir pond to see, she wanted to carefully ponder whether her idea was feasible or not.

This weir pond is about two acres wide, which is quite large, only the middle circle has water, and both sides are silt.

There has been no drought in the past few years, and the water in the big weir pond in the village is enough for the villagers, so no one will come here to use water.

And it's all around with silt, so it's too much trouble to get the water in the middle.

But what if there is another drought in which year?

At this time, there is no pumping machine, and when the weather is dry, you can only rely on manual water, and the big weir pond in the village is dry, and you have to go to the river, which is too far.

If you can make use of this weir pond and store water, it can be used for a while.

Such a large area is very useful.

Siqi walked around the weir pond for a while before going home, everyone packed up and prepared for a nap, and they had to work in the field in the afternoon.

Seeing Siqi coming back, Wu said with a tiger face, "I still went back to the house to sleep, but you went crazy outside, hurry up and go to sleep, the sun is so big outside, isn't it uncomfortable to bask in the sun?" ”

Siqi smiled and stuck out his tongue, "Grandma, I ate too much at noon, so I went around eating and eating, I'll go to sleep now, and grandma will go too." ”

Wu smiled, "Cheng, let your grandmother Liu bring back a watermelon from the town in the morning, it is already on ice, and you will cut it and eat it when you wake up." ”

Thinking about it, he licked his lips, "Great, there's watermelon to eat." ”

Don't look at the watermelons everywhere in the previous life, at this time, they are expensive things, and the rich and noble people can eat them if they want to, and ordinary people are reluctant to buy them.

A watermelon has to go for seventy or eighty yuan, and the bigger one has to go up for a penny.

For the Zhuang family, a penny of silver can buy a lot of things, and you can eat several meals when you come back to eat meat, so there is no need to buy this thing.

Wu said with a smile, "Every time you are busy, you can still satisfy your cravings, and you can't eat a few times in a summer." ”

Siqi went back to the house, Si Yao was still sitting and doing embroidery, she hurriedly went over and grabbed it, "Sister, let you have a good rest, why don't you lose your hand all the time, it's time to rest." ”

Si Yao put away the sewing basket, "It's not that you haven't come back yet, I have to wait for you, go to sleep." ”

"Okay."
